Pictures are worth a thousand words.
But I wonder if anyone has the quantified recoil force for a 12 guage pump (not auto, which would absorb some recoil) vs an AR firing .223.

Data from Chuckhawks.com

223 Rem. (55 at 3200)
Gun Wt: 8.0
Recoil Energy(ft/lbs): 3.2

12 gauge, 3” (1 7/8 at 1210)
Gun Wt: 7.5
Recoil Energy(ft/lbs): 60.1

12 gauge, 2.75” (1 1/4 at 1330)
Gun Wt.: 7.5
Recoil Energy(ft/lbs): 32.0

No data on 3.5” shells, but depending on amount of shot i would guess 75+ ft/lbs. Slugs are a whole other story.

Obviously big difference.

As another poster hit on, most of those vids are the dudes in those women’s lives setting them up. Its funny but also dangerous and reinforcing fear of recoil, imho.
